Throw out any aluminium cookware and check your deodorant and table salt (anti-caking agent it's called there) for aluminium. Start using potassium instead of sodium. Most of us get way too much salt so that our salt\potassium ration is way out of balance.

What is Causing What is Wrong?

What if you could find out THE cause of society's ills? What is placing America in peril?

What is causing the downfall of our educational system, the rampant diagnosing of our children, adults and elderly with mental health disorders, and what is prompting the ever-increasing use of psychiatric medication?

Lee Kessler, actress and author of "White King Rising" tells a spine-chilling story of HOW psychiatry's plan is laid out and what solution WE CAN CREATE to eliminate the harm and abuse. It is the story of a trojan horse, and in defeating it, the story of how we win.

Another Case of Drug Companies Putting Profits Before Safety

Over the past few years, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials appear to have gone out of their way to protect the profits of Bayer — one of the largest and most powerful drug companies in the world... and it’s not just in the US.

You see, Bayer doesn't just make drugs. They also make chemicals for agriculture.

In the mid-90s, a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (nicotine-based pesticides) was first introduced. This poison doesn't affect humans or animals (that's what we're told, anyway), but it disrupts the nervous systems of insects, causing disorientation and death.

It's one thing when we're talking about gypsy moths. But what about honeybees?

Bye-bye, "protection!" Hello, profits!

After neonicotinoid use began in France in 1995, the number of bees per hive was cut in half in just six years.

In a logical world, that red flag (along with other evidence of the pesticide's toxicity to bees) would have brought neonicotinoid use to a screeching halt. But an international corporate giant like Bayer isn't hemmed in by minor nuisances like logic or environmental safety.

In early 2003, Bayer applied for EPA registration of a neonicotinoid called clothianidin. At first, the agency balked. Two months later, EPA officials were suddenly not so deeply concerned with honeybee safety...

So the EPA gave clothianidin a "conditional registration", meaning the pesticide could be sold and used without restriction in the US. But the "conditional" part required Bayer to conduct a study to examine the effect of clothianidin on the life cycle of honeybees.

As expected, Bayer responded exactly the way drug companies do... They took forever, dragged their feet, and finally produced a lame, completely inconclusive study...more than FOUR YEARS later!

And what a mess!

First: The study was conducted on canola plants, not corn. Bees LOVE protein-rich corn pollen, but canola pollen doesn't draw them in as much.

Second: Researchers placed hives in a clothianidin-treated field, and other hives in an untreated control field. But the fields were so close together that bees had easy access to both fields.

So, did the research find any differences in mortality between the two sets of bees? Of course not! Maybe that's because the two sets became one big set very quickly.

And yet very quietly, with no public notice, the EPA granted clothianidin unconditional registration...THREE YEARS later! And during that entire time, the pesticide was used more and more while bee populations continued to drop alarmingly.

And in what looks like an effort to be just as incompetent or underhanded as their American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) brethren, last month, a leaked document revealed that EPA scientists had strong misgivings about the study's deficiencies and inconclusive results — the very study agency officials reviewed before giving clothianidin the green light for unconditional registration.

What's at stake?

Well, about 75 per cent of all flowering plants (which includes most food crops) require pollination. And while birds and other insects help out with pollination, commercial bee colonies play a huge role in pollinating crops. Remove the honeybee from that picture, and you've got the makings of an environmental disaster.

Now, I hope this part won't shock you too much...in 2009, Bayer reported more than $260 million in clothianidin sales...

Over in Europe they clearly understand the urgency of this matter, Italy, Germany, Slovenia and France all imposed an emergency ban on this bee-killing pesticide...

On January 25, 2011, 36 MPs in the UK House of Commons motioned to immediately suspend the licenses for all neonicotinoid pesticides used in Great Britain. By the end of March 2011, the process to put teeth into an actual law banning nicotine-based pesticides could be a groundbreaker in the struggle to give honeybees a chance to live in an environment freer from poisons and more balanced to support life, not death.
